I was walking to a seat in a subway station, and I tried to sit down next to a man on a bench. He got up, and began to yell at me, threatening me with beating me to a pulp because of the “bitch ass” way I walk. He called me a faggot, and only walked away when he saw the judgmental glare of a young mother nearby. “I brought this up to a much senior colleague in a significant position of influence in the school the next day. I mentioned that I would like to see if we could find some way that I could possibly have other people to walk to the subway with, as a safety measure. She shut down the conversation. Two hours later, I got an email where she explained that she was not comfortable being the vessel for my emotional dumping—accompanied by a list of therapists that I could see in lieu of getting her support.”
